Google Cloud Compute Engine (PA1 EC)

Again, the general instruction to the extra credit part is on the PA1 Instruction Google Docs. Make sure you read that first.

This page will help you with step 1, creating the VM instance.

After you have been granted access to ucsd-cse260-axion project, go to the Compute Engine Console. "CREATE INSTANCE" and make changes to the following fields:

• Name: make sure it's the same as your AWS EC2 instance name.

• Machine Configuration: C4A, the one with "Google Axion" as platform.

• Boot disk: OS to Ubuntu; Version to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, ARM64.

Then "CREATE" and wait for its completion. Go back to the Compute Engine main page, start your instance, connect SSH in a browser-based window using the first option. 

(OPTIONAL) SSH from your IDE

If you feel too uncomfortable to use a terminal and type commands, you can still SSH via your IDE or code editor. Click the VM you just created, them "EDIT". Scroll down, you can see the SSH section. Hint: the username for whom you create the SSH key pair should be the one you see (before @) in the browser terminal. You should be able to figure out the rest yourself.
